How can I apply a background-color on a inline element (a text with some line breaks) with padding so it fills both left and right sides just before and after the line break? (sorry, do I made myself clear? I’m brazilian) Tks!

Great article.

I would add something to it, please considered adding to this already great article, some explanations about this:

If we have something like this:

I’m a complex list item
But I must be styled as well.
Thanks

So, if we define a property to our span element, let’s say: padding-left: 3em; we will see that this will be applied until it finds the first element.

We are expecting it to be applied to ALL text nodes (do we called like this?) inside the span, regardless the ‘s it may contain.

Best regards,
Márcio

ps- hope the tags work on this comment.

hey russ,

excellent tute. it seems so obvious now that certain properties don’t apply when once makes a list inline, but i never put it together. your tute was very logical and concise and the solution is very savvy.

thanks a bunch mate.
